You know, I may be wrong, but I think this is a blatant advertisement........ can this 'member' be shot? And, er, do reputable businesses have email accounts with Gmail?

You also have to ask yourself why this "company" can invest thousands of dollars in stock, yet can't stretch to a domain name and website. It wouldn't surprise me if all transactions were via Western Union or similar, where you send money..... and that's as far as it goes lol.

Dunno about you Geoff but I'm racing for my wallet.... to make sure its safely in my pocket

There really ought to be a way to draw the 'management's attention to this sort of nonsense, like "Report this post" that you see in many other Forums..... but it's gone now so perhaps they're 'on the ball'.

Geoff - there is a report this post button. I found it last week when I reported a spammer. It is very discreet though in the shape of a red triangle in the top right hand corner of the post.

Feel free to use the report post button

When you do, all the mods (and presumably the staff) get an e-mail sent directly to them about the post so it should get dealt with pretty quickly...

Got it! Actually, now I notice it, it's less discreet... quite obvious really. Thanks - it's not a regular problem on here, considering how easy it is to join. I belong to a Forum that requires a lengthy 'application' to join, taking maybe 24 hours to get acknowledged.... but even then you get the occasional spammer.
